This has just appeared on uksteam.info http://uksteam.info/tours/t10/t0621p.htm

 

In addition to those times on UK Steam i've been told Stechford at 17:29 so should turn right at Leamington and go via Coventry.

 

Thanks I was wondering about this!

 

Reported on the gen groups:
"37516 leading steam 44871 west thro Slough 1301 with maroon coaches en route Southall-Carnforth"

 

Very nice bit of filming.

 

And more nice filming! That is one good looking steam locomotive.

Surprised someone was positioned in front of the main gallery at Upton Scudamore.

 

My video from Hassocks and Preston Park in the morning and Wivelsfield (other end of the platform form my Dad) in the evening...

The Tractor is actually 37706 if your into Diesel number crunching, passed Stechford on time, though i was hoping the sun would be a bit more head on than it was in the event: http://david1984.fotopic.net/p65494482.html

 

Don't mention TRACTORS... you can hear the tractor in BillR's footage at Upton Scudamore. One very angry farmer! Looks like the fields at Upton Scudamore ajacent to the line are under new management and judging by what was said to one of the cameramen there, we are no longer welcome!!

 

If the farmers fields are not part of a public right of way and you are in them without his permission then I think he has every right to be angry.

And according to the OS map there is no pubic right of way there. So it looks like the farmer has every right to exclude us if he wants to.

Sorry, guys, looks like we may have just lost a rather good photo spot. But such is life.

Have to use one of the two bridges at/near the summit now.

 

Bit of a long shot, but is it a designated right to roam area?

 

Question: How long have people been using the field to film/phot for?
My guess is time immemorial, if so we can claim a public RoW, four years use is usually enough but the further back you can go the better.

I doubt it.

 

Not sure that just walking into a field without going on anywhere else will help there.

From my involvement in Forums concerned with walking, don't be surprised it the entrance gets blocked with barbed wire etc very soon.

 

If you wish to take photographs, perhaps the simple exercise of asking permission from the landowner, in the first place, might not go amiss, rather than assuming/demanding rights of access.

Good manners can work wonders.

I asked the farmer for permission to go in the field,he said no, he was sorry but said the were working in field .I didnt really want the tractor on my video anyway so walked towards Dilton Marsh Station thinking that was my only hope but found a great spot, video hopefully up after England match later..............

 

Well, at least you took the trouble to ask and the farmer's answer proved that the land was certainly not 'open access', which is hardly surprising in that part of Wiltshire!
